Back From The Dead

Yes I know its been awhile.. I've been busy appearing on the front page of newspapers (ok so only one newspaper.. the Mid-Day). The article covered the work I'm doing at the Mumbai Police Cyber Lab (the website is incomplete) and was rather spiced up IMHO. Anyway, scans of that will come up later once I figure out how to make myself look like less of a hardened criminal in the photograph.

So the Cisco IOS 12.3 source has been stolen. Coming after Microsoft's great Win2k source expose, this is giving the term 'open source' a new meaning ;). Still you've gotta feel for Cisco, they make the best damn hardware bar none (the fact that I'm a proud card carrying member of the CCNA family does not make me biased !).

Watched an incredible biography on Beethoven on the History Channel this evening. If you're a musician you'll really understand how he must have driven himself crazy after going deaf. Anyway, in deference to genius I've traded in the progressive rock for the Moonlight Sonata and Tchaikovsky's violin concertos (Kyung-Wha Chung on violin).

My port knocking implementation is almost complete. You'll be able to grab it here the second I finish commenting the code for you hackers. Then you admins / crackers can enjoy the goodness of backdoor shell access that is undetectable to portscans !

More on an interesting work related scenario soon..
